excellence in education
Nurturing intellectual curiosity, encourag-

think. Offering a diverse, well-rounded curriculum, PA serves as a close-knit
learning community dedicated to preparing students academically, socially,
ethically, artistically, and physically for the world that lies before them. Our
classes provide intimate surroundings that enable teachers to encourage
strengths, overcome challenges, and instill in each student a lifelong love for
learning. Our faculty and staff have outstanding credentials and experience to
offer, but more importantly, they bring with them a deep commitment to nur-
turing and guiding young people. The success of our personal style of educa-
tion is reflected in the academic, artistic, and athletic excellence that has made
PA a nationally respected college preparatory school.

So what IS the PA experience? It’s an
expectation of the highest in academic
achievement. It’s a commitment to per-
sonal growth, exploration, and develop-
ment. It’s an unwavering devotion to
bringing out the best in every student.
And it’s a dedication to equipping young
minds with knowledge and insight for col-
lege, combined with wisdom and values
for life.

“Offering a diverse, well-rounded curriculum, PA serves as a close-knit learning community dedicated to preparing stu-dents academically, socially, ethically, artistically, and physi-cally for the world that lies before them.”
our faculty
PA faculty encourage students to be open-
minded, creative, intellectually curious,
and self-directed. Students and teachers
work as partners, collaborating both on
a formal and a more personal level, to
create a vibrant learning community in
which students can grow and thrive.
Serving as the bedrock of the school: our teachers. Our dedicated and talented
faculty share a love of learning that inspires and motivates young minds. PA
teachers are passionate about ideas. They believe that education involves
much more than passing along mere facts, figures, and formulas; it’s a way of
life. Our teachers are innovative and proactive. They recognize that each stu-
dent is on his or her unique path to learning. Individualized student attention
helps to create an open, nurturing environment, as well as a strong desire to
learn and the ability to think creatively and analytically.

our students
The evidence is in our students.
Pulaski Academy’s tradition of excellence is
embodied in its students, those preK through
twelfth grade wonders whose potential
knows no bounds, both in learning and in
life. This greatness is further evidenced by
the personal and professional successes of
over three decades of PA graduates. At Pu-
laski Academy, we not only value classroom
achievement, but we promote the impor-
tance of moral character, integrity, leadership,
and social responsibility. PA is a vibrant learn-
ing community that seeks to inspire students
to embark on intellectual journeys leading to
the discovery of themselves and the world
around them.
PA students are capable, motivated, and full
of promise. They come from diverse back-
grounds and are ready and willing to take
advantage of the exceptional educational,
extracurricular, and leadership opportunities
that lie before them. Building on a tradition of
a 100% college acceptance rate, our students
are commited to following in the footsteps
of PA graduates who have moved on to the
most competitive and highly regarded uni-
versities and colleges across the nation.

our curriculum
At Pulaski Academy, we believe that every
child possesses an inherent love of learn-
ing and a joy for discovery. At the heart of
our Early Childhood program is a commit-
ment to innovation and a dedication to
promoting inquiry and exploration.
In the Early Childhood School, each day is a stepping stone to acquiring
the proper foundation for success in PA’s college preparatory curriculum.
Throughout their ECS years, students experiment, collaborate, and solve
problems, all the while building essential cognitive, social, emotional, motor,
perceptual, listening, speaking, and writing skills. The focus of the program
is on development of the total child with an emphasis on high character
standards and moral values.
The Early Childhood curriculum is designed to stimulate young minds in
innovative and exciting ways. The sequential, developmentally appropriate
program carries students from age three through first grade, laying solid
groundwork in the formative years. In addition to such national standard
based courses as Open Court Language, FOSS Science, and Everyday Math,
students attend enrichment classes in Einstein Time, FOSS Science, Spanish,
art, and technology.
ECS faculty believe that children are naturally curious, creative, and eager.
Teachers encourage learning by doing, promote cooperation rather than
competition, and embrace high expectations for the pursuit of educational
excellence. The ECS strives to provide an atmosphere of excitement where
children love school and discover that learning is fun.

PA’s Lower School is a dynamic and energetic place that inspires students to reach their full potential as they discover more about
themselves and the world. LS students engage in learning activities that stimulate them socially, emotionally, physically, and
intellectually as they begin their educational journey. Through such innovative enrichment programs as PATV (a daily television
show in which LS students serve as newscasters, interviewers, writers, and producers) and Think Tank (a unique, weekly learning
opportunity with a gifted and talented specialist), students begin to reason logically and thoughtfully, create with purpose and
originality, and grow with confidence and character. The Lower School strives for balance between a challenging curriculum and
a developmental, exploratory experience. Grade level, self-contained classrooms enable students to participate in a nurturing
learning environment that emphasizes the acquisition of basic skills, the exploration of ideas, and the development of the ability to
work independently.
lower school: Fueling the Fire
PA Lower School students are active, in-
quisitive participants in their educational
journey. They’re newscasters in their own
daily television show. They’re chemists
and biologists in their hands-on science
classes. They’re artists and musicians,
writers and explorers. They’re the leaders
of tomorrow.Kathleen Pait ‘10 photo

{grow with confidence and character}
Our Middle School curriculum seeks to
instill confidence and competence during
a time of adolescent growth and change.
The MS environment is both nurturing
and engaging, enabling students to ex-
periment, discover, and evolve.
The pre-teen and early teenage years are ripe with changes, adjustments,
and transformations. Designed specifically to meet the needs of early
adolescents, the PA Middle School curriculum eases students through the
transition from the comfortable, structured environment of Lower School to
the more challenging, true college preparatory experience of Upper School.
The program’s hands-on, experiential approach complements instruction in
the core subject areas with courses in foreign language, technology, physical
education, and the arts. Meanwhile, a number of learning activities take
place outside of the classroom as well—from the annual 6th grade voyage
to Space Camp to the 8th grade adventure at Camp Winnamocka—each
serving as a unique learning opportunity designed to support academic study.
Whether venturing outside of the classroom or engaging in an on-campus
learning experience, MS students enjoy being part of a close-knit community
that supports individuality while also emphasizing the acquisition of critical
academic and life skills.

our curriculum
The PA Upper School offers a dynamic college preparatory curriculum
that encourages students to use their creativity and natural curiosity to
become partners with faculty in the learning adventure. In addition to core
requirements, students can choose from a variety of electives that include
such courses as Film as Literature, Independent Science Research, Theatre
Rep, Model UN, Senior Thesis, Digital Media, Honors International Studies, and
Personal Finance. Twenty Advanced Placement and twelve honors courses
are also available. Outside of the classroom, Upper School students are active
participants in any number of clubs and organizations. Sports teams, music
rehearsals, theatre performances, and other campus activities enable students
and teachers to grow and learn together. Community service is also an integral
part of the US experience. Students must meet service learning requirements
in order to graduate, but most PA students far exceed the minimum. Upper
School students typically complete between 10,000 and 15,000 hours of
community service each year and have been accepted to 147 different
colleges throughout the nation in the last three years.

PA Upper School students strive for excel-
lence in all areas of life, whether in aca-
demics, in their interactions with others, or
in leadership or service roles. Opportunties
to stretch and grow abound, and our US
students welcome the chance to spread
their wings and expand their horizons.

the arts
The arts are a vital component of our
vision for the social development, intel-
lectual growth, and creative expression
of our students. As a part of its efforts to
educate the total person, Pulaski Academy
supports a vibrant culture of visual and
performing arts.
PA’s commitment to the arts is evidenced by the school’s depth of instruction
and wide range of creative opportunities in the areas of music, visual arts, and
theatre. Within this enriching environment, students identify new interests and
cultivate artistic talents, becoming active participants in a journey of inspira-
tion and imagination.
enlighten the mind, enliven the vision
MusicMusic is an essential part of the PA experience. Our goal is to inspire and to
encourage an appreciation for music while enabling students to gain a solid
understanding of musical concepts. Throughout their PA education, students
receive special instruction in ear-training, vocal development, and instrumental
training, giving them the necessary tools and knowledge to become poised
musicians who find joy in the art.
Certified instructors assist and mentor students in all areas of music, whether
that student is a kindergartener preparing for the annual spring musical, a sixth
grader who wishes to play the saxophone, or a senior who hopes to perfect
the tonal quality of his/her singing voice.
Visual ArtsPulaski Academy recognizes that visual arts play
an integral role in the development of young
minds. By engaging in a curriculum rich in art,
students learn to explore their imagination,
unleash their curiosity, and apply their creativity
to any project they undertake.
A student’s artistic vision and appreciation for
visual arts is limitless, especially in the hands of
a passionate, talented teacher. PA’s gifted visual
arts instructors are all experts in their field, as
well as enthusiastic and caring mentors. While
cultivating the talents of each child, they set
high standards for excellence in the arts and promote creative thinking in all
avenues of academic life.

TheatrePulaski Academy’s theatre curriculum not
only provides Middle and Upper School
students with the opportunity to collaborate
with others on a shared artistic endeavor, but
it teaches them to give and receive meaning-
ful criticism while polishing their analytical
skills. Through the performing arts, students
also learn poise and gain the confidence
needed to become effective public speakers.
Students participate in improvisations, as well
as solo, duet, and ensemble acting. Oppor-
tunities also exist for those more interested
in the behind-the-scenes workings of the-
atre: playwriting, costume and scene design,
props, lighting, theatre makeup, publicity,
stage management, and directing. Finally,
the PA theatre curriculum provides students
with a deep understanding of the history and
practice of theatre as an art form, enabling
students to develop a true appreciation for all
aspects of the theatrical world.
Whether our students pursue the arts professionally, enjoy them as a creative outlet or hobby, or support them in the community, Pulaski Academy cultivates a lifelong apprecia-tion for the creative process.
“Within this enriching environment, students identify new interests and cultivate artistic talents, becoming ac-tive participants in a journey of inspiration and imagination.”

far from EXTRAcurricular
At PA, we believe in the importance of de-
veloping the whole student: intellectually,
emotionally, AND physically. PA coaches
are trainers and mentors, dedicated to cul-
tivating winners who excel on the field, in
the pool, on the court, and—most impor-
tantly—in life.
The Pulaski Academy physical education program not only promotes healthy
competition, but it focuses on the teaching of invaluable lessons in sportsman-
ship, participation, leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. Beginning in our
Early Childhood program, students take part in weekly activities with a certified
physical education specialist who applies the SPARK (Sports, Play, and Recre-
ation for Kids) method to teaching the values of physical education. The SPARK
program focuses on coordination and strengthening of large muscle groups
while also teaching students how to work together, solve problems, and share.
In Lower School, students continue their lessons in physical education with
the aid of the SPARK curriculum. The program not only encourages exploration
and creativity, but it emphasizes the importance of proper form and technique
for generalized skills (e.g. throwing, catching, kicking, striking). Students in
second grade begin to explore movement patterns with a partner to define
movement in relation to another person, shape, or group. By the third grade,
students move while learning fundamental skills involved in such activities as
basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Fourth graders continue to develop motor
skills and an understanding of teamwork as they’re faced with new drills and
challenges, eventually advancing to mastery of small, sided games.
educating the whole student
Katy Allison ‘08 photo
Lessons in physical education continue in Middle School, now with more of
an emphasis on individual and team sports. The curriculum focuses on skill-
building and involves students in a number of new and challenging games,
including flag football, wiffleball, and floor hockey. By the time students reach
7th and 8th grade in Middle School, and throughout their Upper School years,
students have the opportunity to pursue competitive athletics and lifetime
fitness in a variety of ways, all of which emphasize sportsmanship, respect,
commitment, discipline, and cooperation. Athletic opportunities abound for
both males and females and include such sports as football, volleyball, ten-
nis, basketball, swimming, track, and golf. Just as our academic programs are
designed to provide students with a broad range of opportunities to achieve
their potential and build confidence, intellect, and initiative, such is the case
for our athletic program. A host of outstanding faculty members plan and
implement these athletic opportunities, while a community of parents, friends,
alumni, and trustees reinforce them.

clubs & activities
Co-curricular opportunities are extensive
and diverse, with options ranging from
Literary Club to Chess Club to Model UN.
With over thirty active clubs and organi-
zations in place, our students are sure to
find that extracurricular niche.
At Pulaski Academy, we recognize that character development does not come
about through classroom instruction alone. Whether attending school dances,
embarking on field trips, serving as yearbook editor, collaborating on school
projects, engaging in a challenging chess match, performing in the spring mu-
sical, or taking part in the annual eleven-day Junior College Trip, PA students
are active participants both on and off campus.

service learning
Service learning is an integral part of the PA experience from three years old
through twelfth grade. Grade level class service projects target local, national,
and world organizations, including the Pulaski County Humane Society, the Ac-
cess School, the Dorcas House, Hope Lodge, Easter Seals, Red Cross, and Heifer
Project International. Through group and individual efforts, students learn
to serve others. And by serving others, they learn about themselves and the
world around them. As a part of their graduation requirement, Upper School
students must complete at least fifteen hours of community service per year
for a total of sixty to graduate. Most PA students far exceed the minimum.
learning to serve, serving to learn
Through our commitment to service, we
seek to heighten our students’ sense of
moral responsibility and awareness of
social problems, while building in them
a feeling of personal fulfillment through
their dedication and caring for others.
Students also participate in rewarding service projects within the school com-
munity by serving as Senior Brothers and Sisters, by volunteering as PA Pals
and Reading Buddies, and by acting as school ambassadors. They also take
part in class projects to clean up campus litter, recycle, and raise and lower the
flags. Through service to others, students develop a sense of civic responsibility
and a lifelong commitment to volunteerism.

our campus
We recently more than doubled the size of
our campus! In doing so, we’ve enhanced
the educational opportunities of our
institution while giving rise to limitless
possibilities for our students.
When a school expands its campus size from fifteen to thirty-two acres and
adds over 180,000 square feet of facilities, opportunities abound. With our re-
cent expansion, we offer students a host of new possibilities. A larger campus
translates into enhanced academic and enrichment programs, an expansive
library, a state-of-the-art gym, extensive technology opportunities, a cozy
student café, a sizable bookstore and spirit store, and multiple venues for the
performing arts. Perhaps the most notable results of our expanded campus:
spacious new facilities for our Early Childhood and Lower School. Now there’s
more room for PA youngsters to grow.

A successful PA student is one who will appreciate and take advantage of the
exceptional educational, enrichment, and extracurricular opportunities that
the school has to offer. PA students enjoy challenges. They are both leaders and
team players. They are intellectually curious, and they want to discover more
about themselves and the world around them.
Pulaski Academy provides the perfect balance of academic vigor and accep-
tance of individual learning styles in a vibrant, nurturing environment. And
while we believe in challenging our students academically, we are equally
interested in helping them to evolve into respectful, responsible people of
integrity. PA classrooms are small and intimate, allowing for a great deal of
personal attention and interaction with faculty. Our teachers are truly there for
our students, giving freely of their time, friendship, and support. Graduates of
PA are confident, well-rounded young men and women. Having immersed
themselves in our dynamic curriculum, developed new talents, mastered new
subjects, experienced the rewards of team play, and built friendships to last a
lifetime, they are ready to face their futures.
